Excuse me but you're trying to translate a novel when you aren't sure if a ceratin character is a kana or kanji?
That is called "踊り字=おどりじ" and it's considered a kind of an "honorary" kanji.
It is used in a kanji word to show that the immediately precedng kanji is repeated.
国々(くにぐに)= (many) countries
山々(やまやま)= the mountains
数々(かずかず)= many
色々(いろいろ)= varied, many kinds of
